Producer/cinematograher Elam Stoltzfus answered the call of the wild to go deep into the Big Cypress Swamp along with fine-art photographer Clyde Butcher and musician Sammy Tedder. During the journey Elam joined with many other public land managers, local experts, hunters, orchid lovers, artists, and a great many other people. The expedition across the swamp in airboats, hiking, mucking about, aerial, canoes, and swamp buggies gave the HD video crew ample opportunities to capture breathtaking images. BIG CYPRESS SWAMP: The Western Everglades documentary is a collection of stories of how the Big Cypress almost didn't happen, how the lands are currently managed, an overview of animal behaviors, stunning landscape scenes and a cacophony of stunning sounds blended into a musical score. Clyde Butcher is the host and it is narrated by Peter Thomas.
